A kiss is just a kiss, but sometimes… Amidst the bustle of a crowded London train station, Georgie spots Alex, a much older man, and plants a kiss on his neck. This electric encounter thrusts these two strangers into a fascinating and life-changing game. Directed by Company of Fools’ Founding Member Denise Simone Heisenberg brings to intriguing theatrical life the uncertain and often comical sparring match that is human connection.
Internationally renowned for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, visionary playwright Simon Stephens brings us this sharply original play starring New York City based actors, Hanna Cheek (COF’s Grounded, Other Desert Cities) and Christopher Curry (Sully, O’Neil Playwright Conference ). The play will be performed in an intimate audience configuration with seating for 70 people on stage.
